A native New Yorker, Schubert attended the University of Pennsylvania for one year before he began working.[1]

From 1931 through 1948 he was involved in the scripts for 25 films.[2] Two of his more notable films were Peck's Bad Boy (1934), for which he co-wrote the screenplay with Marguerite Roberts, and which starred Jackie Cooper;[3] and 1944's The Mummy's Curse, starring Lon Chaney Jr.[4] In the late 1940s, he wrote several plays, two of which were turned into films.[5] By the early 1950s, Schubert moved to the small screen, producing television series and movies during that decade. Some of the series he worked on were Mr. and Mrs. North, Topper, and Adventures of the Falcon.

Schubert died on August 4, 1988, in Los Angeles, California.[6]
